Videos

Movies have always fascinated me, especially the special effects. One of my earliest memories is from probably when I was five or six years old, I was watching "Friday the 13th" with my Dad. When the bloody parts came, he explained that it wasn't real, and that it was "special effects." He went on to say that they turned off the camera, and applied the makeup, and when they turned it back on, it looked like blood and gore. Since then, I've always been intrigued at how movie special effects were created, and the "Making Of..." specials were always my favorite. Nowadays, the DVD extras are pretty common place, and I couldn't be happier.

So now that I've grown up watching these how-to videos, I've been doing it myself here and there, when I have time (and lot of times when I DON'T have the time). Since I discovered 3D animation back in High School, I haven't rested until I've learned as much as I can, and I still learn things every time I crack open the program. I recall that the reason I even started using 3D in the first place was that I wanted to make a movie, but my friends and family were always too busy or not interested. So I decided to create all the actors I'd need, and just do it on my computer. One thing led to another, and now I consider myself to be a fairly decent animator, especially in comparison to what I started out with, way back in the day.

So here's some of the videos I've created. Most of the CGI ones were done in Blender, although a couple of earlier ones used 3D Studio Max.
